Welcome to the development site for openaustralia.org. This is your kicking off point for all things to do with the development of openaustralia.org, including the reporting and browsing of bugs and development ideas, documentation on installing and configuring the software for yourself and a guide to contributing to the codebase.

The Open Australia software consists of two main components, the web application which is based on code from the UK site theyworkforyou.com and a web scraper / parser which was written from scratch for downloading and parsing the Hansard data from the Australian Parliament website.
